Hi, Stuffing the toe sounds wise. Should I encase it with muslim? This stocking is not my favorite project. all of the fabrics and this very thin fancy fabrics with lots of glitter. They look pretty but they just unravel and fall apart at the slightest touch. I would not consider making something with these fabric's except if you are my Granddaughter. Well I do need God's blessings right now as I am going back to this project and need to finish it this evening.
